sassenach Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 ladyc , just hover your mouse over Cats name somewhere, box should pop up and there will be a link, I think that will work to PM her. Quote Link to comment
Ambergris Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Lady C, you might want to edit out the email address. Welcome home! Edited April 20, 2013 by Ambergris Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 ladyc!!!!!!! Still dancing? Looks like the format has changed, but arby is right... hover over my kitty picture and a box will pop up, giving you the option to "message me". So good to find you back here! My lilDD has been monopolizing my computer lately in the evenings, so I just got on. Quote Link to comment
ladyc Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Cat, please edit out my email addy ... or tell me how to edit. I didn't see a way. Thanks. I'll be in touch. Quote Link to comment
ladyc Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Happy Sunday Morning to All! Yes, still dancing - at least in my mind! I've moved from NM to AZ. Less opportunity for dancing, but we've found a few nice events. Lots of packing and unpacking with the move. Gave away a lot, discarded a lot. Moved a bit too much. Lots of sorting and reorganizing, discarding and donating. Lots of searching and occasionally finding something forgotten. There was a quilt block swap, and after over 10 years, my stack of blocks showed up recently. Some are now on my design wall, waiting for one more block and sashing and border to complete a quilt top. A couple have just now been set into attractive table mats and finished with a little quilting. The blocks that I made were such color "misfits" that I put them into a quilt top by themselves and gave it to my niece to quilt on her large machine. This recent discovery and attempts to finish doing something with the blocks brought back memories of MrsS and promted me to post. If any of the swap participants are still members, I thought they might enjoy seeing pictures - which I will try to post soon. I still don't see a way to edit a post, and the screen didn't appear when I hovered over your kitty. TY for editing out my addy. Guess what! Just after I posted, I happened to move my cursor over the choices and saw Edit show up. So I clicked on it and here I am editing! Edited April 21, 2013 by ladyc Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Editing goes away after a time. But I can always help out. I'm still learning how to post pictures & stuff here with the newer program. If you have trouble, Annarchy can help. I'm *so* glad you found us again!!! I've been busy babysitting our grandson during the days, so it limits my online time. I had the last 9 weeks off because our bigDD was home with their newborn, but starting tomorrow I'll be gone most of the day again. At least I'll have Thursdays off for another month.

Annarchy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 LadyC, hover over Cat's name and the pop-up badge will appear giving you the option to "Send message." Oh, and welcome to AZ too! Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hi ladyc, and welcome back! It took me awhile to get the hang of PM-ing too. You have to hover over the name and not the icon/picture thingy. Then click on the 'send message' in the pop up box. Quote Link to comment
ladyc Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Annarchy, TY. It worked - hovering over the name and not the box. Are you in AZ? Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Annarchy, TY. It worked - hovering over the name and not the box. Are you in AZ? Glad to hear it. Yes, Ladyc, right in the middle of the state. Quote Link to comment
ladyc Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) I got this pretty 14" bear paw block in the swap. Finally decided it would make a pretty table mat. I added the orange frame and turquoise backing.This tutorial video for wraparound binding caught my eye. I developed the method further to accomodate the added frame and batt.Oops, just intended the link to appear here. Didn't work that way. Had to edit out. My attachment picture didn't post.

ladyc Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Attempt to post picture. If you are the one who made this block for me, please let us know. Edited June 8, 2013 by ladyc Quote Link to comment
ladyc Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) One more attempt - to get larger picture Didn't work. Edited June 8, 2013 by ladyc Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It's fine, we can see it! That's BEAUTIFUL!!!! I could see that framed, on a wall... I love the colors they used. It looks like a tropical fantasy garden, until the daisies pop out at you! Quote Link to comment
Twilight Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It is beautiful! I love those brilliant colors! How big are your blocks? Quote Link to comment
ladyc Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 The Bear Paw block is 14" finished (14 1/2" with seam allowances.) The mat is about 18". Table mats and runners and wall quilts get used interchangeably . Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Ohhh, that is so pretty! Bear Paw is one of my favorite patterns. I made one with four blocks, two rows of two blocks, and have it draped over a bench, on point. Mine is just solid wine color with black background. I really like your colors though! I need to step outside the box and get over my fear of colors. I mostly do dark jeweled Amish colors. Actually, I made another one with electric blue with black background but I gave that one away.

ladyc Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 You can see my Amethist Bear Paw quilt at niece Kathy's blog. I pieced the top. She did the quilting on her sewing machine. But be forewarned. Don't read the Ultimate Awkward Moment! http://carpelanam.blogspot.com/2013/03/quilts-of-past-amethyst-bear-paw-and.html And here is a detail of a corner of the top.
